none officially supported.

But you would be fine upgrading anyway. Just make a backup should you
want to go back... You will loosed everything that you will do between
the time you made the backup and the time you restore...

So if you want to go back and you only intend to test it... don't wait too long!

the mac build is certainly more stable than it used to be

I think even without the hardware decoding you would be fine...
playback is now full OpenGL, you get better performance there than the
old Quartz (Quartz is still supported though, just not available on 64
bits build)
